    Summary: My take on Harry's first year, starting with him getting his letters, add a lot of sarcasm, stir, and serve cold

    This is easily one of the best SmartArse!Harry stories I have ever read. I finished this about two minutes ago and I'm still chuckling. Seriously, go and read this...it'll be worth the ten minutes it takes....


    A few quotes for some incentive to read....and this is just the first chapter!

    Harry rolled his eyes and opened the door, staring at the two men and the woman behind it…mainly at their strange dress. They wore long draping…dresses? Mainly black, and the old man who couldn’t be less than two hundred with a beard doing down to there was dressed in bright green and magenta with a tall pointed hat that effectively countered his beard. Harry tilted his head and fought the urge to slam the door shut.
    “What in hell are you selling?”
    "May we come in, my dear boy?” The old man asked, his bright blue eyes twinkling in a very freaky manner.
    “Not until I get a background check,” Harry replied, “and some credentials.”



    “The name Voldemort,” they flinched, Harry decided he was going to have to see if that worked on everyone, “frightens many people,” Dumbledore explained. “They prefer to refer to him as you-know-who.”
    “But if you were planning a surprise party,” Harry asked, “would everyone think you were throwing a party for Voldemort? Like: what are you getting you-know-who for the you-know-what’?”
    Dumbledore tugged on his beard, and replied thoughtfully, “Well…”
    “Or what if you were talking to someone about their crush,” Harry asked, “would everyone think you wanted to go with Voldemort? Like: ‘You know who will definitely like that dress on you.’”
    “I don’t—”
    “Or what if your friends were talking to you about someone you didn’t like,” Harry proposed, “would you think they were talking about Voldemort? Like: ‘you won’t believe what—”
    “In those cases!” Dumbledore interrupted loudly, “he is referred to as he-who-must-not-be-named.”
    “Oh, yes,” Harry muttered, “that’s definitely better; you have no idea how much that cuts down on confusion.”


    “Well, my dear boy—”
    “What are you a pervert?” Harry demanded, “Because I can assure you, I’m not your dear anything…unless you pay in me in small countries and magical creatures. Then I’m sure we could work something out.”

    This is great. I thought the little rant about Weasels was a little too malicious on his part, but other than that I couldn't stop laughing. This is one of the best humor fics I've read recently. Definitely recommended.

    Very entertaining to read, I’ve never read of this kind of Harry. Words cannot describe the fic.
    Recommended!

    Heh, great! It just remains to be seen how she'll handle PS plot; if she manage to make it original enough, this just might turn into the best AU stories since Hero's Path.

    This quote had me laughing all right. I'm only on the second chapter and it's rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Pass!

    EDIT: The shopping in Diagon Alley wasn't too funny but the potential is there.

    Other then some grammatical mistakes, I really liked this story. Harry is freaking hillarious. Voldemrot indeed.
    The only thiing I wonder is, how did he get so verbose? I mean, I doubt he would have learned the big words from the Dursleys:D

    This is, quite frankly, absolute genius. Hilarious as hell and, despite the constant grammatical mistakes, the best AU fic I've read since Shake Me. I'm just in love with this sarcastic Harry.

    Yeah, it's funny. I just hope that the relationship between Harry and Ruebella won't become too sweet.

    Thought it was funny with a sarcastic harry, but didn't really seem to go anywhere as a story. Not much plot other than the author trying to make Harry have witty and sarcastic replies to what everyone says. Interesting but not serious enough to make it a decent story in my opinion.

    Hey, I was just pointed here by a friend of mine, and may I just say that I'm very flattered that you're recommending my fic...I'm honestly very surprised whenever I get such positive feedback, and I'm amazed whenever I find it outside of ff.net.

    Um...and I don't really know what else to say (except to apologize for my grammatical errors, which I would fix if they were pointed out to me -hint, hint-) so just thanks for all the feedback everyone!

    This was hilarious. It doesn't have much it the way of plot so far, but it should get put in the library for how funny it is alone.

    While I (and many others I'm sure) would err love to pick out every single grammatical error you made, why not see if it's easer, faster and cheaper to use www.perfectimagination.co.uk?

    I love this fic, its well written and one of the funniest that I have ever read. My only concern is that the author not let themselves become preoccupied with the humor and put together a decent and original plot and not simply rewrite SS. I'll definetly follow it but Hogwarts is really whats going to make or break this fic.

    Haha, this is a nice turn of events from Draco666's angry Harry, funny as hell this and I hope it gets better along the way. The Voldemrot scene was the best.

    This is an excellent story. My only concern is the pairing if their is one. It might be slash because the author wrote one HPLV story.
